ny upon Ireland forever. recognizing as q
liked principle that force was the remedy.
The lesson OF many Irishmen showed that
force was no remedy. Since the election Of
1885 since the bulk of the Liberals had
rule, Ireland had been free from
crime and outrage, a condition long un.
known. Why was this? Because the
Irish people knew q large though
insuficiently large body of legislators
represented their interests and would abide
by them to the last (cheers). If the Liber-
ais acceded to the appeals of the Govern
ment, the result would be retrogreesion.
The Irish people would return to state of
things which the Liberals efforts already
partly remedied. As long as Ireland contin.
ued in her present course of moderation, so
long would the Liberals be bound to per-
severe l., their endeavor to assist her. The
time would soon come when to many now
supporting the cause OF Ireland would be
added many more, when deplorable pro-
posals such as these OF the Government
would no more be associated with the name
OF Ireland, and when it would be seen that
in doing what they could now to serve the
Irish cause, they we're observing the cause
OF the wide Empire of Great Britain. [Pro.

CHICAGO, March 3O.-The Democratic
party of Chicago is still without a candi-
date for Mayer. and the leaders are again
looking to Carter Harrison, notwithstand-
ing that he has twice accepted and twice
declined the nomination. The nominating
committee of fifty, appointed by the second
Democratic Convention, met this evening
and held two lengthy sessions. At the
first, after Dewitt C. Creguer and John
Aking, members of the committee, had de-
clined the proffer Of the chief place on the
ticket, Congressman Frank Lawler started
a new boom for Harrison. As the latter
was not present and no one was author
lied to speak for him, no action as taken
on Lawler's proposal, and John Fl. Nc
Avoy, q wealthy brewer, who was present
as one of the committee Of fifty, was urged
to accept. He did not refuse outright, and
the committee took it for granted he would
accapt notwithstanding his protestations
was taken, and in the meantime McAvoy
held consultation with Harrison. Though
the latter assured him the heartiest sup
port.
McAvoy, after much hesitation,
wrote letter declining, giving his reason
that his business would not permit him to
accept. When the letter was read to the
committee, President Kern. of the Cook
county Democracy. advocated adjournment
sine die, leaving the Republican and United
Labor party tickets the only ones in the
field. Congressman Lawler protested Wig
orously and again championed Carter Har-
rison. Henry Rubens followed in the same
vein and then moved the appointment of a
committee of five to hunt candidate.
The motion was carried with whoop. To-
morrow the committee will report the re
suit of the search.

Ex-Lieut. Governor Reynolds Leaves the
World In . Hurry.
ST.. LOUIS, March 3O.-Hon. Thomas C.
Reynolds committed suicide at the Custom
House this afternoon by. plunging down the
elevator shaft. He fell distance of 80
feet, and crushed in his skull. The cause
of the rash act was mental arrangement,
superinduced by a hallucination that he
was about to become insane. A few min
utes before o'clock he entered the build
ing and sauntered into the United States
Court room. Several persons met him in
the building, and he appeared in his usual
humOr. He was seen to leave the United
States Marshal's office and, stepping into
the elevator gate, passed out of view, and
a few minutes later he was brought out of
the endorsement dead.
In 1860 he was elected. .Lieutepant-Gover-
nor of the State of Missouri on the same
ticket with the famous Governor Claiborne
Jackson and in the Civil war sided with the
Confederacy. At the close OF the war he
went to Mexico and became very intimate
with Macmillan. In 1868 he returned to
St. Louis. He was member of the COM
mission sent to South America about two
years ago in the interest OF commerce with
the United States. In 1854 he fought q
duel with B. Gratz Brown with rifles at
thirty PAGES on the island opposite this
city over political discussion. Mr.. Brown
was hit in the knee, but Mr.. Reynolds was
not touched. It is believed that Governor
Reynolds only intended to MAIN Mr..
Brown. Governor Reynolds was married
twice and leaves his second wife, whom he
married three years ago, all OF his prop
erty.

twenty-three days. He says they were af.
fected with the slug, an insect about the
size and shape OF a large bean. He pulled
the wool from the dead animals and got
about four pounds from each. His sheep
sheared last year on an average of eight
pounds to the head. Mr.. Newman pie ces
his loss at $12. 900. He mentioned names
of some ten other sheep men in Eastern

more than seventy-five per cent

cause. Mr.. Newman says he has
heard some cattlemen place their loss at
from SO to IS per cent. One man told him
that he had been out on the range with his
cattle all winter, and estimates his loss at
60 per cent. Mr.. N: says he intends to buy

HELENA. March 3O.-The dead body OF
an unknown man was found this morning
in q root house on the property occupied
by Joseph Pielgeram. teamster living on
the west side. From papers found upon
his person it is thought be had been dead
since some time last December. His
throat was cut from ear to ear and q large,
sharp, blood-stained pocket-knife was
tightly held in one hand. The dead man
appeared to have been above middle age
and to have gone blind in one eye, but the
fea lures were otherwise unrecognizable.
Twenty-Five dollars in coin we're found in
his pockets, which indicated that the man
was not murdered for the purpose OF rob-
berry. 1t is also claimed that the nature of
the wound indicates that it could not have
been suicide. Thus far the body has not
been recognized, nor has any light been
thrown upon the mystery surrounding the
case. An inquest will be held which may
bring out further facts.
The contract for the construction of the
Montana Central from Helena to Butte
was awarded to Larson, Keefe & Co., OF

Wholesale Poisoning.

MACON, Georgia, March 3O.-Slx out OF
the eleven persons who were poisoned by
Voudou Doctor Bonner, in Baldwin County,
are now dead and the five living will die
this week. The sixth death was that of the
father, John Harris. He openly expressed
doubt as to the powers possessed by the
Voudou, ~hereupon the latter prophesied
that for this want of faith not one of the
Harris should live the month through.
The father alone, who had not eaten much
at the fatal meal, recovered sufficiently to
move, but when be recovered he was
raving maniac, and had to be confined in a
lunatic asylum. He had fearful vision
and would not eat for fear OF being pois-
oned, and soon died in terrible contortions.
News from the settlement is that the sur.
vivors cannot live much longer, so that it
is likely that the Voudou's prophesy will be
fulfilled, and that not one of the family will
live to see the new moon come in. As soon
as the white people learned the facts, Bon
ner was hidden by the colored people, and
has not yet been found.

Jaconi pulled theirs. The three shots
sounded like one. Monterea got bullet

Never at any time has the Episcopate been

citation OF labor and crafts goes back to an
tiquity, but there is this notable fact in En-
